We put these on the fronts of the family 2007 Corolla (new model of the year). Rears are the previous-gen Goodyear Assurance ArmorGrip. FuelMax is average - slightly above average noise with average grip and feel. But what do you expect from low-rolling resistance tires?
On the plus side, even with just these 2 at the front you can feel and see the difference in fuel consumption, compared to the previous setup of 4 ArmorGrips. Previously we typically got 9.4L/100kms, and now the trip computer is showing 8.7L/100kms. You can feel the throttle response lighter as well.
Just make sure the tires are inflated correctly. We run 35psi (Toyota recommends 32psi normal and 36psi for constant 160kmh+) and when it drops to 32psi and below, fuel consumption will return to more than 9L/100kms.
